The Road to Blissville Srs appears to be the sequel to the Curl Up and Dye Srs by AN Walker. Except that the more books I read in CUAD, it became clear that things were happening with the secondary characters that should probably ALREADY have been read. Indeed, when I reached the Christmas Book in CUAD, it went PAST obvious to (let’s say) spoilers as to what had occurred with the other characters since a certain point in Jazz and Gabe’s life. This wasn’t an issue in the sense that I purchased the full series of both series named, in both print and Audible, but I felt that maybe it would have been helpful to have a list of books in the order that they should be read. Theoretically they are all SA Bks, but they are much better read in order as a full Srs (like a season on tv) and perhaps there IS a list of the books in the order I should read them that I missed. I would highly recommend doing so (I imagine a Google search would pull this up.) Obviously, I very much enjoy Aimee Nicole Walker’s style of writing or I wouldn’t own 26 print bks, not counting the Audible books. I generally give 5* reviews to almost every single book she writes. The storyline’s are intriguing, the characters are unique, the writing is excellent, the sex scenes are hot (boiling, combustible!!) so there had to be a reason I rated two of three ratings to 4, instead of 5. SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT Okay. You’ve been warned. I felt as if Chaz and Kyle had the same problem crop up again and again and again and again and I (personally) found it grating. After a certain point, Chaz’ reluctance to tell Kyle about his deception became irritating to the point where I lost much respect for Kyle for continuing to go after the man. Chaz was acting like a complete shit (again, just IMO) and I wish Kyle had decided that Chaz wasn’t worth this much trouble. And clearly Chaz’ character lost much in his “should I, I can’t do this…” repetitive thought process every time he saw the vet. The thing is, Walker likes her characters to be soulmates or OTL such that you can’t give up on them bc, they are supposed to be “endgame”. With Gabe and Josh, I could see where it made sense for them to keep trying, bc even tho they had problems, they were both immensely attracted to the other; they both wished to BE with the other one (Altho Jazz was scared by the concept based on previous life experiences) and there was reason to believe they would end up together bc Gabe was not always the one making the first move. With Kyle and Chaz, I felt that the more Chaz screwed with Kyle’s head, the less I wanted them together and the more I wished another character would appear with whom Kyle could start up a healthy relationship. Ultimately the issues were worked out, but I felt it was done all at the expense of Kyles dignity and self respect. However, it’s not as if I was so horrified the rating went down to three. Walker is too good an author for that to happen. I simply wish the book had been written somewhat differently so that Kyle received a individual who treated him right from the beginning. But c’est la vie. I still greatly enjoyed it!
